Hey everyone! I'm just diving into woodworking and I'm on the lookout for some YouTube channels that really break things down for beginners. I've seen a ton out there, but it's tough to figure out which ones are actually useful and easy to follow. I'd love to hear your recommendations for channels that cover the basics, safety tips, and practical advice. What helped you the most when you were starting out? Thanks!

For some essential safety tips, check out 'Stumpy Nubs' and his videos on table saw safety. They're real eye-openers and everyone should have that knowledge before starting any projects. Plus, Paul Sellers is a legend, kind of like the Bob Ross of woodworking—very soothing and insightful!
Couldn't agree more! I always make sure to watch his safety videos.
If you want more options, check out Johnathan Katz Moses and 3x3 Custom - Tamar. They’ve got a lot of practical videos, and Tamar’s gadget-building tutorials are great too. For hand tool enthusiasts, Rex Krueger has useful tips, especially if you're into sharpening tools. Marc Spagnuolo, or the Wood Whisperer, also has some cool hybrid woodworking techniques. Both him and Steve offer detailed courses once you’re ready to step it up!
That’s a solid list! I really like Katz Moses for his hands-on approach.
Good call, Rex’s method for sharpening chisels saved me a ton of time!
You can't go wrong with Steve Ramsey's 'Woodworking for Mere Mortals.' It's super beginner-friendly and he even has a course called 'Weekend Woodworker' which is great for getting into projects without breaking the bank. I've found it really useful!
Totally agree! Steve's course was a game-changer for me.
Yeah, I like how he's very accessible to beginners. His style is chill!
Best advice ever! Safety always comes first.
